Productivity is up and so are the number of "bummed out, frazzled and overwhelmed" employees. Combined with the rising cost of health care and health insurance, an aging workforce, and global competitiveness, the U.S. business community is under attack.

One of the most insidious and overlooked causes of these increases are health conditions caused or worsened by workplace stress. What follows are the hard, cold facts of the devastating effects of stress on workers and the unique unrecoverable costs begin absorbed by employers. Just like the saturated ground after days of torrential rains, bottom lines have absorbed all they can take.

Employers have a choice - accept workplace stress as normal and allow the following ravages of stress to overwhelm their workforce or do something about it.
